The Assault on Truth

In The Assault on Truth, Peter Oborne examines the unprecedented rise in political lying from Boris Johnson's government, highlighting how falsehoods have been used to secure power and navigate major events like Brexit and the pandemic. The book compares the scale and shamelessness of these deceptions to previous political scandals and situates them within a broader attack on Western values, institutions, and democracy. It underscores the importance of integrity and accountability in safeguarding the rule of law and fair governance.
